I just got a frame too. Am considering swapping the ENVE fork for the Whisky fork that is also flat mount, PLUS fender mount.

Love it. This is really cool. I've been curious to see one of these out in the wild. Looks like a great ride!

Totally different chain stay design. Weird. I like yours better. I was counting on being able to run 650b as I'd seen at least on earlier versions that you could run it. Oh well. The price was right. |

Thanks... my first foray into this segment. Still have a lot to learn, especially if I start to get into the whole ‘adventure biking’ thing.

I don’t fully get the Hakka MX excitement. The fork makes no sense and the rest of the bike seems almost generic at this point with the rash of other dropped chainstay bikes coming out, but I guess the T47 bottom bracket is different? I’m sure they are fun to ride but I’m having a hard time seeing how it’s that much of a standout compared to the open up, norco search xr, rondo ruut, etc.

I took a spin (15-20min) on a Hakka prototype last summer but it had 650b on it (@2" tires?). I don't currently find any appeal in a drop bar 650b format for my riding interests but hoped to be enlightened by those riding it in the 700c configuration. Just wondered if it was more fun as a CX (subjective, I know).

I funded one of these big clearance gravel bikes by selling a road bike and Trek traditional CX bike. (I still have true race for road races) and if anything I feel like the huge 650B clearance gives me MORE flexibility than I had with the two separate bikes. I have three disc wheelsets I switch between...which is also possible on the Hakka: 700c 28mm (road), 650B with 47mm Byway (gravel races), 650B with 2.1" Maxxis mtb tires for single track. You could do that with one wheelset, but I hate switching tubeless tires. I'm getting OT again, but now that the dust has settled, I have 2 bikes. A true road race bike and a gravel bike. That setup ticks every box for me and I have no desire to expand the fleet. The only gaps being a fat bike and a real mtb...but those are segments that aren't appealing to me. |
